  3. 'Sweeney' staggers in amid a hail of bullets and Cockney slang ★★★

    Movie shootouts are often dazzling feats of marksmanship. Few filmmakers have the guts to show their version of "Gunfight at the O.K.

  5. RapGenius.com Could Be the Future For Explaining Rap Lyrics -- And Just About Everything Else -- Online

    Over the last 10 years, websites that rely on crowdsourcing have become some of the most effective information-based products of the Internet revolution.
